    Some parish notes from last night’s show. The mighty Wavves plays in Dublin tonight (Whelan’s) and will be on The Front Row with Sinead Ni Mhorda on Phantom 105.2 today (1pm-3pm). That Hudson Mohawke album gets better and better with every listen (and his All City cuts from last year are the business too), JJ Fad were true badasses, that Q-Tip tune with Norah Jones is absolutely gorgeous, the Bedroom Community label have a very sweet back catalogue and the new Hauschka album is a thing of great beauty. And The Far Side had a go at Twitter last night. Verdict? Not as good as the Wii.
